Are there any natural hot springs or particularly beautiful natural swimming spots worth seeking out?

Accepted Answer

There are a few natural hot springs, most notably at Kanniya near Trincomalee (multiple springs with different temperatures, quite basic facilities). In the hill country there are some beautiful natural pools and waterfalls where locals swim (ask locally for safe spots). Many of the best 'secret' swimming holes are on private land or require a short hike with a guide. Be cautious with water quality and currents at waterfalls.

We visited Kanniya hot springs. Interesting but very basic - more of a local experience than a spa. The different temperature pools were fun.
